dizzy cap removal?

[msherry21]

Is there an easy way to do this? Its obviously not the plugs to blame so I'm trying to check the rotor arm and cap, Is there an easier way to remove it and are there 3 bolts holding it on? This is a pain in the arse as the cars abandoned at my local ski slope so trying to work on it is becoming a real bitch!!

cheers for any wisdom!

I just wanna get hammered!!!

2 bolts and its a bit of a bitch to do in situ.

Plugs leads off helps a little (not much) and the new cap should be numbered, but make a note of lead positions!

8mm heads on mine. can you get a 1/4 drive socket and extensions on it?

[Garbe]

had to get to the bolts to do the timing - used 1/4 inch.
If you want to take the dizzy off i suggest using one of those flexi screw drivers with a socket on it.
